Propagation bromeliad

by Danique

in Houseplants, Plant care, Propagation

Een Bromelia (Bromeliaceae) is een tropische kamerplant met opvallende bloemen. Niet zo gek dus dat je deze mooie plant zou willen vermeerderen! De Bromelia is een ware eyecatcher. Er is alleen wel iets lastigs aan de Bromelia. Je kunt de plant alleen stekken als er scheuten zijn. 

Supplies

  • Bromeliad
  • A sharp and clean knife
  • Disinfectant
  • Flower pot with fresh potting soil
  • Optional: plant rooting powder

Step-by-step plan for the propagation of a bromeliad

  1. Start by cleaning your knife. It is best to use pure alcohol or disinfectant.
  2. Then dig out the mother plant to get better access to the bromeliad pups.
  3. You can propagate the bromeliad without the knife, but it is still handy to keep at hand.
  4. You can tear the pup off the mother plant. Tear from top to bottom and make sure that there are roots on the pup.
  5. If tearing doesn’t work, you can use the knife.
  6. It is best to apply a little rooting powder to the wound of the cutting and mother plant. Let the powder dry well before you continue.
  7. Don’t you have any rooting powder? That’s okay. Although the rooting powder can help you to stimulate root growth.
  8. Then put the cutting in a flowerpot with fresh soil.
  9. Immediately after repotting give the cutting a little water.
  10. Move the cutting to a spot with indirect sunlight.
  11. During the first period, make sure that the soil remains slightly moist at all times.
  12. After about one month the cutting is strong enough to support itself. You can then adjust the watering to the same pattern as for the mother plant.
